No it doesn’t. When you write music for someone, you write it for them

why would banks write verses for 50 with multis and punchlines?

Often when a ghostwriter writes some shyt for someone you can hear some form of them in it. Sometimes its really obvious like when Pharoahe Monch wrote for Puff. Sometimes its less obvious but still a semblance there like when Jay wrote for Dre or when Nas wrote for Will Smith. I don't hear Banks at all in 50's old shyt. And if you do, let me know which songs.

Banks wrote the hook for In da club but besides that 50 wrote his own shyt, and some of games. I love Banks but I’ll never hate on the zone 50 was on during that time period.

Of someone is rapping someone a song not intentionally Mande for them then yes

but ghostwriters write from the perspective of the artist

I don’t know but 50 definitely got wack over time. He was never a big lyricist but he was good with the slick talk and had a good flow. How to Rob is an example of him being a dope rapper despite not being super lyrical. I don’t know what happened.

There’s only a handful of rappers that are super lyrical. 50 was always a good lyricist.

Was just listening to old g unit and I’m convinced banks wrote most of 50s shyt back then.

listen to 50 when he was around banks and when he wasn’t it’s pretty obvious. I always wondered why 50 couldn’t make good music after g unit and this makes sense why.

Swear I remember banks freestyling and using in the club hook in his verse on some mixtape.
no. and at this point 50 would have gotten exposed already especially with him being on bad terms with everyone not named yayo

50 just kind of got stuck in a time period of music , he still makes mostly the same kind of songs that he did back in the early 2000s. His last few mixtapes people have liked so Idk that he changed or got worse he just didn’t grow that much .
